Summary: CART is a platform that enhances collaborative conservation efforts at all scales by facilitating issue-based, not geography-based, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing.

Matthew Rosencrans of the NOAA Climate Prediction Center tells us why NOAA predicts a very active Atlantic hurricane season.

Warming makes similar events more likely, but models may fail to capture important ocean-ice-atmosphere interactions.

“This investment will support NOAA and its partners in better preparing Western communities for droughts in the coming years and decades.”

Eleven new projects aim to identify and better understand evolving climate risks, vulnerabilities and adaptive capacity for islands in the Caribbean and the Pacific.

The study evaluated the accuracy of four major reanalysis data sets in representing daily and extreme temperature across the United States, finding results least reliable in the mountainous western US, likely due to the complex terrain.

Temperatures across the North Atlantic Ocean have been record hot for more than a year.

Updated through 2023, this collection includes temperature and precipitation images for D.C., Alaska, and selected Hawaii stations.

A new study finds nitrous oxide is accumulating in Earth’s atmosphere faster than at any other time in human history, and the gas’s current growth rate is likely unprecedented in the last 800,000 years.

A test in Greenfield, Iowa, on May 21, 2024, showed NOAA’s Warn-on-Forecast yielded strong confidence in the probability of extremely strong near-ground rotation more than an hour before the tornado touched down.
